Okay, so last weekend I went skiing — no writing. But today I presented at the Young Writers’ Conference. This is always a highlight of the year. I get to do 2, 75-minute sessions with 30, 10 – 15 year-olds who really want to write (they give up a Saturday AND) pay $35 to be there) and see a lot of authors that I only see once a year. I sold 19 of the 20 books I took down and got a nice little honorarium. The keynote speaker was awesome — all in all, a great day!
Got a ton done this weekend!
Revised my novella and put it up for crit, as well as my last short story. Yay!
AND — congratulations to Rob, nominated for the Hugo for “Wake.” “Watch” comes out next month (I have his May launch on my calendar) and it was a thrill to work side-by-side with him at our semi-annual write-off as he did the finishing touches on “Wonder.” Great weekend! Next week – back to the novel — I can hardly wait!
Does Filking Count?
So, I didn’t write fiction this week, but I DID filk my song for the musical AND download the karaoke version of Herod’s Song from JC Superstar AND transfer it to garage band AND record myself with the new lyrics AND burn a disc including the filked song, the blank karaoke, my lines with cues and the cues without my lines. Now I should be able to learn everything by CD!
Revisions to the novella
Got quite a bit done, but not finished!
Wrote a short story
That’ a good accomplishment for a weekend!
